5th Grade Magic Trash Sculptures 6th Grade Wood Sculptures The students learned about the artist Tyree Guyton who was famous for his Heildelburg project in Detroit City. He added color and form to a run down neighborhood to bring it to life! Once his style was viewed, the students worked as teams and glued together recycled trash pieces to create a nonobjective sculpture. The sculpture was then decorated with paint and other decorative materials making the everyday trash pieces come alive with excitement.

Creativity Nonobjective art	Poor Apparent students made sculpture to resemble an object. No building pieces upward or contrasting in opposite. No detail with smaller pieces.	Fair Sculpture still has appearance of an objective form but beginning contrast is evident. Some evidence of level building. No detail with smaller pieces.	Good Sculpture is nonobjective and has contrasting pulls. Sculpture is built up with levels. Smaller pieces used. Aesthetics are pleasing.	Excellent Clearly nonobjective with many contrasting pulls & evidence of level building. Some trash has been cut/changed to create unique pieces for building. Many details added. Very aesthetically pleasing to view.
Paint, glue, pieces Craftsmanship and Attractiveness	Poor Glue is everywhere. No effort made to keep piece clean. Paint is sloppily placed as well as added decorative pieces. No planning evident.	Fair Glue is still clearly seen. Paint is sloppy but some pattern placed with decorative pieces. Minimal planning.	Good Glue is seen in only drips in a few areas. Paint is contained and colors have some unity. Decorative materials appear to have been somewhat thought out, but there is a disconnect between materials.	Excellent Great care and time were given in gluing. Paint colors contained and or are well thought out. Decorative materials compliment the paint and structure and are placed with apparent decision of the pieces.
